Hi everyone,
This is probably a question for Kaleidescape Support but perhaps someone on the forum might have a quick answer first…
I’ve had an M700 for years but have never rack mounted it. I want to do this now, but am unsure about a couple of things.
I have the rack ears but not the original screws. Does anyone know the specification for the screws - size, strength etc? I’m sure I can work this out, but if anyone knows the actual ones Kaleidescape ships with the vault, that would be better.
I have a basic Middle Atlantic rack (cheap, maybe not the strongest on the market, I’m not sure). It is the correct size and has a weight capacity of 400lbs so should hold the weight, but are there any other minimum requirements that I’m missing? The M700 installation guide doesn’t mention any.
Basically I want to be confident that the M700 - which is a bit of a brute - can be held with just support from the front rack ears and no support at the back before I attempt the installation!
Hopefully I’m worrying about nothing?
Thanks,
Michael
